Game bios:
- For the Queen: Created by designer Alex Roberts, For the Queen is a card-driven collaborative storytelling game that invites you to tell a dramatic narrative about a Queen’s journey with you, her companions! What will you learn about her (and yourself) along the way? In the end, will you stand for or against her?
- Queen by Midnight: Created by designer and Critical Role producer Kyle Shire, Queen By Midnight is a battle-royale deck-building card game of guile, deception, and brawn! Six Princesses each feature unique tactics to battle for the right of the Midnight Court, but only one (and maybe their inner circle) will be the winner. Queen by Midnight: Quarter Past is an expansion coming November 13th that adds 4 new Princesses, a more streamlined table presence, and 2-player rules!
